World Nutella Day 2011

In Sydney, we are currently experiencing a heat wave; it is just dreadful.  We don’t have air-conditioning, so our Nutella is lot softer than it should be; I can’t complain about that though, because during winter, the Nutella gets so firm that I have to put it in the microwave to become spreadable!

Crunchy Peanut Butter and Sea Salt Cookies

I have a thing for peanut butter cookies, and I’m really picky about them.  They have to be peanut buttery and chewy, and preferably without the crunch of crunchy peanut butter or added peanuts. Read more

Avocado, Tomato & Mint On Rye

According to the magazine where I found this recipe, avocado, tomato and mint on rye is a classic Aussie cafe staple.  I, myself, have never heard of it before, and perhaps that’s because whenever I go to a cafe I tend to order a coffee and cake rather than an actual meal! Read more

Salted Caramel Ice Cream With Bitter Chocolate Sauce

Summer has came early to Sydney; it has been so hot this week.  I just hate such hot weather.  If I had it my way, I’d live somewhere where the temperature was always between about 68-72F every day. Read more
